For those of you who based you summer around our upcoming Friday the 13th Charity Movie Marathon, for those of you who cancelled their wedding plans, funeral plans, family reunions, baby-making and birthing plans to tune into this event, I have terrible news! We’ve had to postpone it due to scheduling conflicts (lame). We will take up the charge closer to Halloween. Write that down! Do it now.

New Releases!

Enforcement (aka Shorta) – Tough action/drama from Denmark finds a couple of cops in the wrong neighbourhood at the wrong time. Coppers gotta cop. Pretty solid thriller.

Here Today – Comedy writer Billy Crystal and street singer Tiffany Haddish become friends.

La Piscine – Alain Delon and Romy Schneider are a sexy couple enjoying sexy times by the pool in 1969. Problems ensue when her ex-lover and his nubile young daughter show up. Ruh-Roh! Criterion release.

Rose Plays Julie – A young woman seeks out her original birth-mother. Complications ensue (of course they do) in this drama/thriller.

Son of the South – In 1961 Alabama a grandson of a KKK monster must decide what side of history to be on. Drama ensues.

Son of the White Mare – Famed psychedelic Hungarian animated fare about sons of a horse goddess who travel to the underworld to rescue some princesses. No relation to Son of the South. Blu Ray only.

True Mothers – A woman with an adopted child is contacted by the birth mother with varying results. Sounds like a theme this week. Japan’s entry in the Oscars.

The Twentieth Century – Wacked-out Canadian film that follows the rise of a young (some say crazy) Mackenzie King as he vies to lead the Dominion of Canada.

Working Girls – Famed film by Lizzie Borden about the goings-on in an upscale NY brothel. Criterion release.

Coming Soon!

Those Who Wish Me Dead

So it seems that BC Hydro will be turning off the power this Sunday to do something electricity related, We’ll be closed until around 4-5pm if this indeed happens. They had this scheduled a last month but then didn’t show up. Many shops were closed when they didn’t need to be. Not great for business. Check our website or Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or the Dark Web for updates this Sunday morning.

Gangs of London Season 1 – Dude who made The Raid films makes an action-packed violent gang show! Sign me up!

Hydra – Guy who works at a little restaurant is also a highly-skilled fighter. You can see where this is going. Hail Hydra!

The Ice Road – Grizzled Liam Neeson (is there any other kind?) is an ice truck driver who must drive over ice to rescue some trapped ice miners. Might be a nice chilly diversion for these hot days. Ice ice baby.

Keeping Faith Season 3 – Season 3 of this thriller/drama.

The Black Dog Newsletter! Oh, Canada Edition!

We recorded a special Black Dog Video After Dark: Canada Day podcast a while back for release now but we had some qualms about doing something to celebrate Canada Day what with all of all the recent horrors that have come to light. We did decide to release this episode for various reasons (read here) and you can listen in as we discuss the Canadian classic PIN.

So many things happening at the moment! With the new “Stage 3” guidelines going into effect we’ve set out our own rules and regulations for what’s happening at Black Dog Video. Read all about them here.

New Releases!
